League of Conservation Voters

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is "the political voice of the national environmental movement and the only organization devoted full-time to shaping a pro-environment Congress and White House."

The LCV boasts a track record of demonstrated ability "to use the democratic process to improve the environment." The LCV says that it has "defeated 23 out of 37 anti-environmental candidates targeted by our Dirty Dozen campaigns since 1996; helped hundreds of environmental leaders to victory, both on Capitol Hill and at the ballot box, and had over 80% of LCV endorsed candidates win since 1996."
